Subject:   2nd ether device wont config
Message-ID:  <200212060238.gB62c3058291@flip.jhs.private>

With DP-2 my 2nd ether won't config
	( but I've got other FreeBSDs right in the past with 2 ether
	cards.  the mail gate on another box, relaying this mail has
	DSL+ether & Internal net+ether)
Any know why some devices get conf'd as inet6 + inet & some just as inet6 ?
Could that be part of the problem ?

If I boot with /etc/rc.conf
	ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.53.47 netmask 255.255.255.0"
	# ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.53.39 netmask 255.255.255.0"
	# network_interfaces="auto"     # default
I see:
    ifconfig -a
    	fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    	        inet 192.168.53.47 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.53.255
    	        inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fe9c:e0a5%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
    	        ether 00:a0:c9:9c:e0:a5
    	        media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP)
    	        status: active

    	ed1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
    	        ether 00:00:b4:36:a5:04
    	lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
    	        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
    	        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 
    	        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
    ifconfig ed1  inet 192.168.53.39
    	ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
    ifconfig ed1  192.168.53.39
    	ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists
    ifconfig lp0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
    	works ok

It could be my BIOS isnt right (as the ed1 is an ISA card),
     dmesg:
	ed1: <PLUG & PLAY ETHERNET CARD> at port 0x240-0x25f iomem 0xc0000-0xc3fff irq 10 on isa0
	ed1: address 00:00:b4:36:a5:04, type NE2000 (16 bit)
     bios:
	irq 10 allocated to ISA bus,
	PNP OS was off.  tried on, made no difference.
But I think even if the BIOS is wrong somewhere,
there's perhaps more to fix on FreeBSD side ?

Any Ideas ?	

PS I'ts not actually using 192.168.53 but 192.168.??, 
but changed for email to protect `the innoocent` :-)
